Topics in Stereochemistry, Volume 25

Topics in Stereochemistry, previously edited by "e;the father of stereochemistry"e; Ernest L. Eliel, is a longstanding, successful series covering the most important advances in the field. The much-anticipated Volume 25 includes chapters on the following topics: * Stereochemistry of Molecules in Inclusion Crystals * Torsional Motion of Stilbene-type Molecules in Crystals * Supramolecular Networks of Porphyrins * Homo- and Heterochirality in Crystals * Supramolecular Synthesis of 1D Chains and 2D Layers in Hydrogen Bond Networks of Ureas and 2-D Pyrimidinones * Chiral Auxiliaries Powerful for Both Enantioresolution and Determination of Absolutely Stereochemistry by X-Ray Crystallograph * Engineering Stereospecific Reactoins in Crystals: Synthesis of Compounds with Adjacent Stereogenic Quaternary Centers by Photodecarbonylation of Crystalline Ketones * The CH/ Hydrogen Bond: An Important Molecular Force in Controlling the Crystal Conformation of Organic Compounds and Three-Dimensional Structure of Biopolymers * Stereoselective Thermal Solid-State Reactions * Crystal Structures and Functionalities of Platinum (II) Complexes Controlled by Various Intermolecular Interactions
